New to the Reef

[Rororeefer]

I love the ocean and always wanted salt water tanks. I started with a 40, went to a 65, now I have a 65 and a 125 and I am looking into a 250. I just love the fish and the coral!!!! In my free time I am reading everything I can get my hands on to learn about them. The first thing I learned is everyone has different opinions! The first store I went to put fluval systems on my tanks. The next store I went to that I’m getting my 250 tank from said no, that’s for fresh water, you need sumps and apex’s. So I got those!
I am glad I found this forum, I am learning a lot from you all that have been doing this for a long time! And I must say your tanks are absolutely stunning! Nice to “meet” y’all!

Hello welcome. I'm new too. Happy New Year

Welcome! Glad you joined.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID). You might even consider one for each tank but its yours so you can do it however you like (but you only get one badge if you do more than 1 thread for that purpose).

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:

This article was sponsored by @MarineDepot at www.marinedepot.com. Introduction The marine environment is one of the most complex systems on the planet. The aquarium you are about to set up is only a tiny sliver of the vast ocean, but it is no...
